Treatment Approaches

I utilize a gentle, integrative, client-centered approach that draws on psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal/relational, experiential, family systems, somatic, transpersonal and other clinical frameworks. My philosophy recognizes both the physiological and psychological impacts of childhood trauma and the importance of paying attention to both through treatment that bridges mind and body.​I have trained in a variety of mind/body treatment modalities that I integrate into the therapy treatment or offer on a individual basis, as assessed and appropriate. These treatment approaches include:

The truth about our childhood is stored up in our body, and although we can repress it, we can never alter it. Our intellect can be deceived, our feelings manipulated, and our perceptions confused, and our body tricked with medication. But someday the body will present it's bill, for it is as incorruptible as a child who, still whole in spirit, will accept no compromises or excuses, and it will not stop tormenting us until we stop evading the truth. - Alice Miller

I owe the recent improvement in my relationships to my therapist, Suzanne. She has been one of the most supportive and caring individuals that I have ever met. If you need a therapist, I recommend Suzanne. Your life will definitely change for the better.S.T., Denver, CO

Suzanne you are so very helpful! In our work, you offered Insightful information that I would otherwise have never had access to!

"Suzanne is a wonderfully compassionate therapist. She has a gift to guide, open and heal. Suzanne created a warm and supportive environment to do the work and feel safe. I would encourage people to see her with the highest recommendation, both as a colleague and client."- Holly Burton Massage Therapist

"I cannot recommend Suzanne more highly. I'm so grateful for her helping me heal from a childhood spent in the care of addicts on a commune. I still need to do daily mindfulness practices that she taught me for the rest of my life and all the other tools I have to reset my awareness and keep me grounded. I grew up scared living with 'hippies' and now I'm living in a safer reality."~H.C. - Boulder, CO

​Suzanne guided me through a process of therapy that felt safe and supportive. It was what I needed, even though I was searching everywhere else.​~ D.B. - Denver, CO

Suzanne had this ability to follow the responses of my body and taught me how to do that. It was really good trauma therapy and well worth the time and money to do it."​ ~ K.M. Age 36, Denver, CO

I reached out to Suzanne when my relationship started to be challenged by my own actions. I was pulling away from my husband and feeling angry with him for wanting more closeness. I had been sexually abused as a child and never dealt with it and I knew that I was keeping it hidden. I had some sense that my abuse caused me to be withdrawn and scared of life and in my relationship, I had no sexual desire. I found Suzanne on line at her website. I called her and got in to see her within a few days. Within six months, I noticed changes in myself that I never knew I could feel in my relationship - more relaxed, open, playful. It's been three years since I started therapy and I continue to see Suzanne because she is so supportive and understands my life so well. My marriage has been repaired and the trauma I experienced as child has been processed. This work has been most helpful and I am forever grateful.
